Hey thanks for getting back to me. My spool looks just like that. You can see that small cross shaft which is engaged in the slot in the bottom of the pinion. The opposite side of the spool has a longer shaft the is inserted into the bearing in the outer cover bu where is the bearing on the inside?

So do I just pull harder? It’s so weird b/c with the first one I cleaned the spool fell right out. It had a short shaft on the internal side of the spool with a small pin that engages the pinion gear and I don’t see a connection with a bearing except on the outer shaft.

I saw a previous discussion regarding difficulty removing the spool on a revo stx. I’ve had the exact problem - the spool moves about a 1/16 of an inch and hangs up on something. I have cleaned one and the spool came right out but the next two had this problem. Anybody figure it out?
